Sludge/Stoner metal recommendations

[Base Delta Zero]

Does any one have any bands that have that southern-tinged sound, though? I'm really into that Acid Bath type of sound. Maybe even a little more grungey like Alice In Chains as well.

Acid Bath is great!

Check out Soilent Green.

...and you might as well go back to the basics and check out 'My War', by Black Flag (particularly side 2).

 

[zabu of nΩd]

my favorite stoner bands:

Cathedral
Clutch
Orange Goblin

I haven't listened to much sludge, but Down's first album owns.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

People
stop
calling
Cathedral
stoner
PLEASE

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Whatever.

By the way, is all of Acid Bath's stuff as spastic, edgy, and dissonant as Finger Paintings? I'm trying to decide if it's worth listening to any of their other stuff, and that song was not a good starting point for me.

I still don't get what's so great about Acid Bath.

sounds like late 90s alterna-metal to me. (Creed, Default, etc.)

uke:

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Orange goblin.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the band EARTH

Awesome fucking band. http://www.myspace.com/earthofficial

Electric Wizard's DopeThrone is amazing as well.

Sleep is good.

Neurosis - Given to the Rising is an awesome album but when does Neurosis ever fail.

Acid Bath - 13 Fingers

Why? That is what they play, past FoE.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

No, this is how parrot-people call what they play, plus it's such a LAME term.

 

[Mort Divine]

Who gives a shit what you think of the term - it exists and it is widespread enough for it to be valid.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Valkyrie

 

[IOfTheStorm]

and it is widespread enough for it to be valid.

Alright then

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Orange Goblin

 

[Krilons Resa]

Mos Generator

 

[unknown]

I can only add Middian...I recently reviewed their cd for UM, and was pretty astounded by it

 

[probertvscoxe]

noothgrush (heavy sludge)
earthless (heavy psyched out jams)
pearls and brass (power trio, hard desert rock)
high on fire, sleep (esp. jerusalem) and any matt pike projects
burning witch (heavy tortured doom)
khanate (more heavy tortured doom)

theres a few to chew on for a while.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Thought I'd bump this because this seemed like the kind of question to ask in this thread instead of making a new one.

Anyways, what's a good place to start with The Melvins? I don't feel like sorting through 20+ albums to see which one I like best.
